Just a girl writing in the blogging ring
Just before 10 PM, a night-out with a friend came to an abrupt halt when a silver mini-van crashed into the vintage Jeep. All dolled up–but going no where–this young lady is now waiting for her dad to pick her up. No injuries reported and a group of gentlemen moved the Jeep off of the road.

“The family of a 2-year-old girl with a rare genetic disorder is holding a fundraiser Saturday in Dover Township to benefit research on the syndrome.
Emma’s Fun Day is named for 2-year-old Emma Dull, who was diagnosed last year with Pitt Hopkins syndrome, according to her mom, Stacey Dull. Emma started receiving therapy and undergoing tests when she wasn’t hitting some milestones as a baby.
Eventually, tests revealed that she had Pitt Hopkins, a syndrome characterized by a missing gene on her 18th chromosome.
Dull said only 250 people in the world have been diagnosed with the disorder. Parents formed the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation several years ago to fund research .” (YDR)
We spent our afternoon at Emma’s Fun Day at Brookside Park, in Dover. There were fun, creative games, crafts, a magician, food and more. We had a blast and all the proceeds go to a good cause, the Pitt Hopkins research fund.
Emma is a little cutie pie and enjoyed the day right along with us! ~P.

After a water balloon battle that came down to Tyler versus me, we broke out the bottle of Dawn dish soap and made a Slip-N-Slide out of a paint drop cloth. It didn’t take long for my neighbor, Deb, to add the plastic bag her new mattress arrived in, and in no time, we had fun trying not to break any bones. Well, I was trying that is, the kids don’t really think about their bones breaking during moments like this. Tyler, Blaine and Tesla were reckless and daring, as usual.
My brilliant idea of the day. Make a slip-n-slide.
Ammo
The playing field
The battle lasted longer than I thought; many balloons didn’t break on the first throw. We had about 80 balloons, the green ones looked like hand-grenades. The tie-dyes were really cool and everyone’s favorites.
After Deb cut open the mattress cover, I womaned up and joined in the fun. Deb didn’t want involved, so she stuck to taking pictures. Didn’t hurt myself, but I admit, I’m tired. Good thing Suz is coming over and making dinner! 🙂
What a fun, but exhausting day! A day that memories are made from. ~P.
J. Hummer House c.1851
This beautifully restored stone home is gently placed among rolling pastures and fields. Gorgeous landscaping highlights this private setting and the mature trees include an early 20th century “Copper Beach” with a massive trunk and impressive silhouette. This mid-century, Pennsylvania German vernacular farmhouse is notable for its red sandstone construction and extraordinary restoration. It presents a rare opportunity for the astute buyer who has dreamed of owning a stone house that retains is original wood moldings, fireplaces and wood floors, but also wants the comfort of a modern kitchen and bathrooms.
The original hearth is an impressive centerpiece of the kitchen and the custom painted cabinets enhance the country kitchen appearance. Large 6/6 windows illuminate the spacious rooms and deep window sills reveal the extraordinary stonework by artisans who mastered their craft and who pride in their work. The roof is made of Peach Bottom Slate, considered by many experts as the best slate in the world. It was first quarried in this area in 1734. The current roof is said to date back to 1915, the May Family took a team of horses and a wagon to Peach Bottom, picked up a load of “Peach Bottom Slate, and returned to replace the old roof with slate.
At the rear of the house across a secluded patio is the original “summer kitchen”. In the 19th century, this is where the cooking was done in the heat of the summer, so the house would remain cool. This building was renovated in the 1990’s into a guesthouse, with exposed beam vaulted ceiling, and exposed stone walls, a bedroom loft, full bath & kitchen. It is currently used as an office, but could serve as an in-law suite or perhaps owner’s quarters for a lovely Bed & Breakfast. There is a story that the Hummer family, during the Civil War, hid their livestock in the cellar of this building when General Jeb Stuart passed through the area raiding farms for provisions.

My how the look of shopping centers has changed and it never stops changing! From the Farmer’s Market to strip malls, York has them all. ~P.
A beautiful building, full of surprises with fancy chandeliers, stained glass windows and lots of gold paint. Were we allowed to go to the third floor? I have no idea, didn’t see a single person the entire time we were wandering around. We should have checked out the bathroom. I bet that would have been photo worthy! Enjoy the beauty of the Renaissance Bridal Shop.

My daughter, Tesla, is the proud owner of my old camera. She is still learning, but I think she has a good eye! ~P.
If you lived in Dover, drove through Dover or heard of Dover, you surely know of the little store on Route 74 that was convenient to pick up needed items.
As a teen, I rode my bicycle to Stauffer’s Grocery and as an adult, I made many stops at Hake’s, often for a Smittie’s soft pretzel and a pint of Rutter’s chocolate milk.
Now the little store is closed, abandoned in my opinion. I held my camera over the fence to see what condition the pool might be in. I would say the pool condition is ideal for disease carrying mosquitoes, and a health risk for everyone in the area.
Not good. ~P.
